The Resistance Band Seated Biceps Curl exercise is a great way to target and strengthen the biceps muscles using a resistance band. This exercise is suitable for all fitness levels and can be modified to increase or decrease resistance.
How to perform
To perform the Resistance Band Seated Biceps Curl exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Sit on a chair or bench with your back straight and feet flat on the floor. Place the resistance band securely under your feet and hold one end in each hand with your palms facing up.
2. Start with your arms extended down by your sides and elbows slightly bent. Your elbows should be close to your body.
3. Slowly exhale as you curl the resistance band up towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows close to your body and squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.
4. Inhale as you lower the resistance band back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, aiming for 10-15 reps for beginners and 15-20 reps for more advanced exercisers.
6. Focus on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise, keeping your back straight, core engaged, and shoulders relaxed.
7. To increase resistance, you can use a thicker resistance band or adjust the placement of your hands on the band to create more tension.
8. To decrease resistance, use a lighter resistance band or grip the band closer to the ends for less tension.
9. Remember to always warm up before starting your workout and stretch afterwards to prevent injury and promote muscle recovery.
